When you are part of Cannons, you are part of our family. We offer a co-educational model right from Grade RR to Matric. We are one school, consisting of various phases, all working together towards a shared goal – to give each child the opportunity to be the best they can be. There is a partnership between the leaders, teachers, school staff, as well as parents, carers and the wider community.
Practically, one school means shared goals, easy transitioning through the phases, common term dates, and events that involve the whole family. We strive to foster relationships between teachers and pupils, among classmates and across grades in an inclusive and nurturing environment. Our children and their families are what makes Cannons Creek such a happy home-away-from-home where we all love learning together.

We value the role that sport plays in the holistic development of our pupils.

We strive to give each child the opportunity to develop his/her physical and sporting ability. Our pupils are expected to do one hour a week of Physical Education during school as well as an afternoon Sport. We establish a firm foundation in the Pre-Primary years, where we focus on body mechanics and developing a love for being active. Our ultimate goal is to promote a lifelong commitment to an active and healthy lifestyle.

Our team sports on offer provide a valuable opportunity to learn new skills, interact with peers and staff outside the classroom and form friendships across different groups. Experienced and qualified staff coach our sport teams, and we compete in the local schools’ league with many of our pupils going on to represent the school at provincial trials for the various codes.

We offer a wide variety of sporting codes with opportunities for both team sports and individual sports throughout the year. Our fitness-focused activities like running, provide our pupils with an opportunity to reach personal fitness levels, promote general well-being and of course, serve as a much-needed stress reliever.
